Last week I was privileged to attend the women's empowerment conference of the World Federation of Engineering Organization's in Tunis, Tunisia. It was an inspiring event, demonstrating that there is truly an international movement to move women into leadership postions. This is not an aim in itself. Instead it is on behalf of solving some of our most challenging problems such as poverty, sustainable energy, etc.

American, and Australia light up with the recognition that by creating strong international relationships and by focusing on bring women leaders to the fore, we can, indeed, have an impact far beyond what any of us individually have dreamed.
